Perhaps the fender protrusions are to keep the air hitting the front of the car, to go over the car, and not interfere with the air going down the side of the car. Basically making it a 2-D shape in a wind tunnel. The sides are pretty smooth, the bulges are streamlined well and are the side guard door beams, they are on the outside to make the doors-car narrower. The headlights are..? Perhaps they create turbulence which washes over the mirrors, many cars now have headlights which are not smooth with the body, as in the photo. Our Toyota, different year but same style, has this flat place on the headlights which I am guessing, diverts the air around the mirrors. I was ready to take a grinder to it to smooth it out, but thought better....
